Taken at the same time as this image. Thanks again to Scott and Kim for taking me here. It’s funny cuz I thought this sunset was pretty amazing. You got the color and the clouds. What more could you ask for? When I told Scott my impressions of the sunset he started laughing a bit. He said that he’d seen better. Guess I gotta get out a little more often. HA!

So my conference is done! What an experience. I learned so much and can’t wait to get back home to implement.
After the last day, Andrew and I went to South Beach for some dinner and a nice walk along the beach. Honestly, I was expecting more lights on the street, but I’m glad I got this shot.

Day 2 in Miami and I could not be having more fun. I’m learning so much in my marketing conference that I come back to my hotel room exhausted! But a good exhausted 🙂

So, I’ve only been able to catch the sunrise. Luckily our hotel is facing the east so its pretty easy to wake up and walk downstairs to the beach. However, it was pretty difficult to get this shot. The beach here is so clean that it makes it hard to find a good composition (never in my wildest dreams would I think I would complain about a clean beach!) There are no shells, no rocks or anything for me to add to the foreground. So, I headed towards the hotel to capture this palm trees with the sunrise.

I made it to Miami! So happy to be at the beach for maybe the last time this year. The weather is warm and I’m loving it.

The real reason why I’m here is for a marekting conference. It’s pretty much an all day thing for the next 2 days so hopefully I’ll be able to get at least some great sunrise shots for you guys. Don’t worry, I’m still vlogging as much as I can.

I arrived on Saturday and was so happy to meet and shoot with Scott Kelly of Gallery of Hope, Kim Seng of Captain Kimo and their friend Bruce. They were great guys that loved to joke around. They were nice enough to pick me up from my hotel and take me to this amazing spot, MacArthur Causeway, for sunset. When we arrived, I was pretty surprised at how many photographers were already there. I’m so used to DC/VA where I’d be the only photographer for miles. It was great talking to them about their experiences in photo and observing their dynamics together.

Thanks again Scott, Kim and Bruce for your hospitality and when you guys make it to DC, I owe you one!

It’s Miami! 😉

Happy Weekend Everyone!
As you are reading this, I will be enjoying the Florida sun in Miami! I’m going there for a marketing conference, but I’ll also make the time to get you guys some sunrises and sunsets.

So, here’s what happened this past week:
I was soo honored to be featured in Travel Channels Best Fall Foliage Shots:

I also wrote an article. I’m officially a published author!

Now for some of the images:
If this past week had a theme, it would definitely be nature’s beauty. See what I mean:
I had four different images from Great Falls. The first one was from a really foggy morning. Then I had a sunrise that was really pink. These two images were a few minutes from each other, but you can see the difference in sky here and here.
I revisited one of my favorite images from the Shenandoah Mountains last year and got really close to a spider in Great Falls.

Hope you all have a great weekend and prepare for some beach images!
